This apartment is very clean and well equipped. Absolutely great location, could walk to everything. Loads of great restaurants and cafes on your doorsteps. Close to train and airport shuttle. Lots of steps to fifth floor and no AC( we knew this going in , however it was very warm in the apartment) the only down side was the bed, it was terribly uncomfortable 😬 overall a great place!

I highly recommend this spacious property in a prime location. Easy access to train station in under 5 minutes and just a 10-15 minute walk to most sights, including the castle. The property was very well equipped. The only small critique we had was that the bed was only a queen size rather than a king, in US standards, but it worked out fine. There’s also a great restaurant just outside the lower level called The Doric.

The location was perfect! Getting the luggage up the stairs was a bit of a mission but well worth it. The laundry facilities were so handy. The apartment was well equipped and had everything I needed for my stay in Edinburgh, I’d happily stay again.

We had a great stay at this apartment in Edinburgh. The location was fantastic, right across from Waverley Station, with great views of the city, yet surprisingly quiet. There’s no elevator, but we actually enjoyed the stairs and didn’t find them a problem at all (Crazy I know). The apartment was clean, comfortable, and well equipped, and the host was quick to respond whenever we had questions. One small suggestion would be to consider updating the carpet or adding flooring in the bedroom, but overall we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again!

It’s a cute apartment on the top floor in a fantastic location. It was steps away from the Waverley train station and a very short walk to the Royal Mile and other sites like the Scott monument, park and more. Pub is downstairs with both coffee shops and other restaurants steps away. Despite being near busy places, it was quiet. Very clean and nicely decorated. Only thing was the top floor hallway was quite warm with a noticeable temperature change when you came in from the stairwell. As well, while we really liked the apartment, the bed was a bit uncomfortable.

Pros: - Great location - Quite - free washer and dryer on 2nd floor. - very nice and clean staff - quick response from management Con - No AC - Flights of stairs and no lift. (This is the major reason it doesn’t get 5 Stars).

It would have received an Excellent review except we were located on the 4th floor. Other than too many steps, and yes I know this has to be expected in Edinburgh, it was a great location, great unit, well equipped and very clean. I would stay there again if I could get a lower floor level

location was great. Very close to town centre, shops, cafes, restaurants and areas of interest. There is no lift in the property, which meant climbing several flights of stairs to get to our room. Good window soundproofing - able to shut out the noise of the busy street.

Great location and very spacious; nice comfortable shower for European hotels. There is no elevator which makes it hard to carry suitcases up but there is free laundry machines with washer and dryer. Floor squeaks and mini kitchen appliances hard to use but do have microwave. Bed is kind of hard but overall great stay.
